Long story short, I never even considered a 4R for myself. After losing our vehicles in a house fire, I got my wife a white 4R Pro and I liked it so much, that I got a Calvary Blue. I absolutely love my Pro. I've owned a bunch of sports/muscle cars and many trucks, but my 4R is currently my favorite.

I am a big guy (6'8" and 350 lbs.), but the 4R fits me surprisingly well, although a full size truck would definitely offer more room and comfort. I also find myself needing a truck bed for miscellaneous projects, especially with just moving back into the house.

Although I "think" I need a truck, I cannot help wondering if I will regret letting my 4R Pro go. I have a couple of reasons. At 6'8", I absolutely will not comfortably fit with a sunroof, which all new 4R Pros now have. If I regret my decision, I cannot just go out and buy a new one. And the color, the color has really grown on me. I've received more complements on my Calvary Blue 4R, than all of my muscle cars and other vehicles combined.

I'm not really sure why I like my 4R so much. I am definitely not a Pro snob, but knowing that less Pros where produced and they stand out a little more from every other 4R, probably has something to do with it. I'm sure the color also has something to do with it. I know it sounds stupid, but I like having a vehicle that stands out from everything else.

If I did let the 4R go, it would most likely be for a Tundra Pro or Sierra AT4. Up until the fire, I was a loyal GM customer, so I know what I'm getting into. The Tundra Pro seems like a great truck, although dated, but I don't know if my judgment on the Tundra is only carried over from the 4R.

To further complicate things, there is talk of a complete redesign for the 2021 Tundra with no V8 option. I would imagine, a 4R redesign is not far out either.

Anyone regret getting rid of the 4R? Should I just get a trailer and call it a day? Or should I go with a Tundra or AT4?
I loved my tundra, and honestly, I would be just as happy owning it again as I am with my current 4runner. I had a tundra rock warrior, which is the precursor to the tundra pro, and it went everywhere I wanted it to go, and it was reliable as any toyota is (never gave me a problem).

My next vehicle, after my 4runner is paid off, is probably another tundra. I miss having a pickup truck, but i don't want the pickup as my only vehicle though.
